Engaging Employees

by Brenda J. Christie

In several earlier very popular posts, The Importance of Pursuing Employee Engagement, and Engaging the Stakeholder,  I wrote about the necessity of engagement. As employees are the main reason companies are able to produce a product, and as they are a reflection of a company as well as iterations of that company's culture, great efforts should be taken to protect them. A recent article, "5 types of coworkers no one wants to work with", which appeared in Business Insider, succinctly describes characteristics of toxic employees and the negative impact they can have on productivity. It also lays out steps which can be taken to counteract toxic behavior in order to protect other team members, and reduce the effects toxic behavior brings to the office and productivity. It can be read here.
